Things you Ought To Know About Polycarbonate Panels

Stuff you should know about Polycarbonate Sheets and Panels
A frequent misconception is that 'all polycarbonate panels are the same'. This isn't true, as a matter of fact, it is far from a fact. While many manufacturers of polycarbonate sheets start with a similar base resin, this is where the similarities normally stop. Most polycarbonate sheet extruders run a base material far different from what the standard has been for the last 30 years. Most polycarbonate sheet is now made without the flame rating it had in the past. Polycarbonate Sheets are occasionally called 'polycarbonate panels' or 'polycarbonate plates', they are still made from the same high quality resins. One of the best known manufacturers of Polycarbonate resins and sheets is Sabic Polymers®, the manufacturers of Lexan® resin and Lexan® Sheet products. Over the past several years, Sabic has quietly discontinued the UL ratings on their Polycarbonate.
